Nico
Samitz has been composing
for chamber ensembles
since his school days.
For over ten years he has
been writing works in a
wide variety of genres
for the “BlechReiz
BrassQuintett”
ensemble, in which he
himself plays trumpet and
piano. His field of
expertise ranges from
classical pieces to jazz
and meditative musicand
even to pop-oriented
compositions. While
honing his skills in
ear-training and
composition at the
Mozarteum, Salzburg, Nico
became acquainted with a
wide repertoire of works
as a trumpet player with
the Munich Symphony
Orchestra, The Munich
Philharmonic Orchestra,
and the Bavarian State
Opera, all of which have
influenced his writing
style. The driving force
behind his creative work
is a winning combination
of passion, the fun of
music-making and a desire
to express, through the
medium of music, feelings
that are difficult to put
into words. Like many of
his works, Nico
composedThe Joy of
Freedom for the
“BlechReiz
BrassQuintet”. The
catchy tune is reworked
in a variety of styles
throughout the entire
work, giving it the
quality of a true
'earworm'.
